The Baffled Narcissist – Everything’s An Event
Recently, my cousin told me about some people who read 
my blog regularly but don’t really know me that well. They remarked to her that, “Everything with Carey is an event!“. I chuckled when I heard that but laughed even harder this week when I watched the TV show “How I Met Your Mother“. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a great show that stars Neil Patrick Harris and an ensemble cast. It’s basically a 21st Century “Friends“. In this week’s episode, Marshall is derided by his wife Lily for creating another photo montage that drove his friends away. It seems that Marshall was addicted to creating photo slideshows with music, documenting the most mundane events in his life; like pet-sitting or ordering Chinese food. LOL, remind you of anyone?? 
Take a look at this clip, it’s hilarious:
Heck, I admit I’m a narcissist, but isn’t every blogger to an extent? (By the way, it’s not narcissism if you truly are better than everyone else!) It’s baffling to think why total strangers should be interested in looking at my pictures and videos, but yet I post them and expect feedback like any good narcissist. So I guess Marshall and I have a lot in common. (I could be in worse company.) Though, if I start adding my own signing to too many of my videos, feel free to tell me to stop. I’ll try to spare my readers that indignity! So without further ado, here are the photos from Lisa & Shelby’s birthday celebration tonight (hardly a mundane event!), set to the tune of Lisa’s favorite singer (and a narcissistic song!). (YouTube wouldn’t let me post the slideshow with the music, so you’ll have to look at the pictures and listen to the music the old school way!) Happy Birthday Lisa!! xoxo
Click the photo for the best of the rest…

an interesting question to be sure – i’ll have to think on that one – but i still enjoy reading your selfish, self serving posts! peace, Al
what is the point of blogging or life if it’s not to share all the things that YOU find interesting? maybe people need to enrich their own lives…
I’d say narcissism is healthy.
I think people, myself included, like to visit your blog because you always have pictures of people having fun and being happy. It also doesn’t hurt having Southern California as a backdrop!
And now I’m stuck on “Cat Funeral”.
@pukemeister - Thanks! Have a nice weekend.
@Shades_of_Athena - I like the way you think! Thanks.
@wherethefishlives - Good point. Location, location, location. LOL. I just added another song to the end of this post that will likely stick in your head, though, now Cat Funeral is echoing in mine! That profile picture of yours is hilarious!
Carey, you are such a good one around your little nieces and nephews! Love the night shots!
Everything with you is an event? Isn’t that like a borderline drama queen? j/k!!!!
yay for narcissism! i wouldnt mind if you started added our own songs to our videos. might make them more enjoyable lol
awww. I love reading your posts and looking at the pictures you post of your little nephews and nieces and cousins and pets and friends and sunsets and well, just everything I guess!
typical Carey! Happy, funny, good with kids and pets. and of course with people! Do you know that the word Narcisism is derived from the myth about a super handsome Greek guy who rejected the advance of a beautiful girl? lol. gly.
Your life, your stage, your show! Who cares what the naysayers and critics are saying?
@CurryPuffy - Thanks Gary. It’s hard to take a bad picture at The Spectrum!
@ElusiveWords - Hey! I resemble that remark!
@Sc12EeN17aM3 - LOL, if I remember correctly Jad, you provided your own soundtrack to our last video!!
@ZSA_MD - Gee, thanks! I’m lucky to be surrounded by beautiful kids and animals :)@stevew918 - Thanks Steve. Yes, I was always particularly fascinated with the story of Narcissus. A bit too much perhaps! :)
@reckless_eagle - I like that Victor! I should change the title of my blog to, “My Life, My Stage, My Show”!!
The difference between yours and Marshall’s “photo montages” is that Marshall’s are really bad.
Like……really bad.
@youthinasia613 - Awwww! LOL, thanks!
